Sometimes it is a good idea to periodically look at your expenses with a view to trimming the fat.  I had some spare time on Saturday and had at look at my internet, cell phone and subscription entertainment.

Called my cell phone provider, T Mobile, and switched to a plan that gives me the same level of service for $5 less per month.  The call took about twenty minutes.

Called my internet provider, Comcast, and switched to a plan that gives me 25% faster internet for $7 less per month.  I had to call a couple of times and suffer through some automated menus and waited a bit for an agent, but eventually got through to a live person.

Then I straight up cancelled Netflix and Disney Plus. That took about 5 minutes each.

So, for about an hours work, I’ll save about $26.98 per month (thats $8.99 for Netflix, $5.99 for DisneyPlus, $5 for T-Mobile and $7 for Comcast).   And, over 12 months, thats $323.76.  Not bad for an hours work.

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

2) Understand and respect your partner. Take time to understand your partners values about money.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.

6) Avoid high interest debt. Credit cards and title loans are financial cancer.

7) Diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
